Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients
- 1 cup oats
- 1 large apple, peeled and chopped
- 3 Tbsp honey
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 1/2 tsp baking powder
- 3 tbsp yogurt
- 2 eggs
- 1 Tbsp butter or coconut oil
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 180C/350F to prepare for baking the cake.
- Prepare the Batter: Place all ingredients except 1/4 cup oats into a blender or bowl. Blend or process until smooth. Then fold in the remaining 1/4 cup oats to add texture.
- Prepare Baking Pan: Line a small baking pan with parchment paper to prevent sticking and make removing the cake easier.
- Pour and Bake: Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake in the preheated oven for 25 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Cool the Cake: Allow the cake to cool completely after baking. For best flavor and texture, refrigerate the sliced cake in an airtight container for at least one hour before serving.
- Serve: Enjoy the cake warm or chilled for breakfast or as a healthy dessert option.
Notes
- You can substitute honey with 3-4 tablespoons of dark brown sugar if you run out of honey or maple syrup. Adjust sweetness by tasting the batter before baking.
- Using a smaller baking pan results in a fluffier texture as seen in the pictures.
- Letting the cake cool and refrigerating it improves the flavor and texture.
- For a dairy-free option, use coconut oil and a plant-based yogurt substitute.
